I had a great stay. The building has a lot of history and the grounds are amazing. There is a swimming pool which is large enough to do laps. The staff are friendly and my room was exceptionally clean.

The rooms was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The grounds surrounding the Mansion were absolutely amazing. The history of the place alone was worth the booking. Had a nice swim in the pool as well. One of the coolest places i have ever stayed at.

The setting and furnishings were appealing and morning coffee was refreshing. The bed was very comfortable. The Presidential Suite is large but the TV and ceiling fan did not work. Could get only cold water in the shower stall. Hot water was available in the tub shower. The pool was empty and needing work. There was no room service. Pricey for the obvious issues and lack of service.

My husband and I stayed just one night. The property obviously has so much history and character. The grounds are so beautiful. I can see it being an incredible place for weddings. The property is very clean and we had everything we needed. We slept very well. Unfortunately we couldn’t use the pool and tennis court like we wanted. September weather can be tricky for the pool with the leaves falling all the time. The owners are very friendly and accommodating. Thank you very much.

The property was unique and quite beautiful. If you're a fan of Downton Abbey this would be a great example of the homes of that era. A bit less fussy in decor than Downton, but a very unique experience for sure Our hosts were very friendly, the grounds were excellent to explore if you are a plant enthusiast, plenty of quiet activities to keep you entertained, and the room was perfect with comfy beds, modern bathroom, a fan to keep the room cool, and a lake front view!

From the moment we drove in we could tell this place was above whatvwe expected. When we drovw up we were greeted by my first name. We checked in and were given a quick briefing of the home. From the history witch boasts a timeline of all of its owners along with the pivotal position it played in world history. To its elaborate man cave in the basement to its amazing garden outaide it was allot to take in. We stayed for 3 days and by the end of it it felt like it was your home you were staying in. And the owners were your servants lol. One needs to remember and appreciate the fact the owners are in fact sharing their home with you and trying to bring us back to a simpler time sharing this piece if history with the rest of the world.the home is meticulously maintained in era correct decor as much as possible and clean. If your looking to relive this era definitely check out the Blaylock. We will for sure be back aa there was still so much we missed in the garden.

The bedroom we stayed in was lovely it was clean. I have no complaints about that. I was disappointed, however when I got to the entrance that I was asked to take my shoes off before entering the premises My shoes are clean, and there is no reason for me not to have worn them. It was a pain going to the car, getting my bags, taking my shoes off and then having to walk up the stairs to our room. Frankly, I thought it was unprofessional I’ve never had to do that before. Then, at check out, we were having our coffee in the breakfast room and the manager came in with his debit machine, asking for the clients to pay up . When I went to go and pay my bill, I noticed it was different than what had been quoted and he had added an additional seven dollars and some odd cents to our bill. When I inquired about it, he told me it was to go towards the yard maintenance or something to that effect. He did take that yard maintenance tax off at my request.
